Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Where did you install LILO? In the master boot record (MBR) or on the Linux Partition....sounds like it's on the Linux Partition to me. In that case you'll have to change the Windows boot loader to include Linux as an option...check out the instructions here http://www.pcquest.com/content/networking/100080119.asp for some clues....I know its for Win2K, but XP should be similar. Alternatively install a 3rd Party boot manager such as Boot Magic to control the boot process. Boot Magic isn't free, but here's some shareware options...not tried any of them, so on your head be it!!

In most cases any advice for XP should work EXACTLY the same for a win2K problem, and vice versa. They are built just the same, XP just has all the pretty graphics that suck up resources, I'm sure microsoft said there was more to it but... Well, I've used both extensively, and only thing different is the patches you need to install.
